TallahasseeJoe

Computer programmer Clinton Curtis has claimed in a sworn affidavit that in fall of 2000, Tom Feeney, then corporate counsel and lobbyist to Yang Enterprises, Inc. and now the U.S. Representative from Florida's 24th district, asked Mr. Curtis to write computer software that would facilitate vote fraud with electronic voting systems, according to a reports by Brad Blog.

Mr. Curtis' detailed affidavit recounts a tale of intrigue that includes Chinese espionage and one man's violent death - ruled a suicide - with hints of foul play.

The web site of Yang Enterprises, Inc. calls Mr. Curtis' claims "%100 false" and promises that an "official statement" is forthcoming.

Mr. Curtis' allegations seem to have eluded mainstream media coverage, as searches today of the online archives of The New York Times, Washington Post, Tallahassee Democrat, and Miami Herald failed to reveal any relevant articles.
